PJ, if I am correct, approved of this....Police have to be unbiased....Is it possible this is to 'prove' they have been 'fair' in reporting 'both sides' (well the one that is important for libel reasons) and the plans are to pass it back to PJ who can reopen the case and ultimately have a 'fair' trial?

BTW...I can't believe the views on my videos...approx 10,000 views in the last week (one ninth of total views in a year!) a couple of thousand just in the last couple of days!

I now know that he's 100% correct, having spent 20+ years studying topics including the media. Infact, in my opinion, even the BBC can't be trusted to provide accurate, unbiased reporting - their primary reason for existence is entertainment, and the Madeleine Mccann story rates high in public interest terms. Just look at the volume of comments the show attracted prior to the comments section being switched off.

But you would think a police officer would tell the truth especially on national tv.

I would expect it, absolutely. I think the key will lay with the language he uses, whether it's committal (i.e.' this force believes Madeleine was abducted by persons not known by Madeleine or her family or friends, with intent to harm') or vague as in 'Madeleine was taken by persons not known to her'. This language does not clarify how she was 'taken', or whether the 'persons' were known to the parents, or other elements of the group. There's also the possibility that only the quotes by Redwood which 'fit' with the programme's agenda will be broadcast.

Why would a senior detective go on tv where he can be seen all over the world, alerting the possible abductor that he is on to him or her? The possibly alive child would be moved, wouldn't she?

I am getting a feeling there are tactics behind this, it is part of a strategy. The appeal would have been made before now if it was thought necessary, not to coincide with the almost year since the go ahead for a review, and that photo would have been released a whole lot sooner, police who think a child might be alive would get an up to date photo in public as soon as they believed that to be a real possibility, it beggars belief that they coincidentally have decided this after one very neat year....

So SY have uncovered these 195 potential leads, that MM might still be alive, whatever they are, hope not all sightings, and are now asking for the case to be re-opened by the PJ who came to a different conclusion and expect them to spend millions trying to investigate? And all only after going through 25% of the files. Surely there might be something pointing in other directions in the other 75%, so how on earth can they be giving interviews with such conclusions. Something has happened to make BBC alter the Panorama programming and for SY to suddenly give interviews, when at the beginning they said they were not making any comment throughout the review, and we wouldn't even know the outcome.

agree ! I said this before, his language is ambiguous and I believe deliberately so. This is Potrtugal's case as he has stressed, and they can re open it, not SY. He is prepping the ground for a reopening imo.

I have not seen a clip or read a quote of Redwood saying there is evidence that she might be alive. This is not the same as no evidence that she is dead......and I would expect the police to be out where they think she is looking for her and arresting her abductor. All behind the scenes work. Not doing media interviews. It is a massive hike from evidence abducted by a stranger to thnking she is alive, especially given the statistics.

Am interested to hear if and why Cameron was pressured by a media mogul, into pushing for SY to get involved. That will stir up a good old hornets' nest. Linking the McCanns who wrote to him with the media magnate who pushed him in the same direction. Stinking stuff.

• THIS IS WHAT MADELEINE MCCANN WOULD LOOK LIKE NOWSCOTLAND Yard has called for the investigation into missing Madeleine McCann to be reopened.Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood is leading a team of 37 detectives who are following up 195 leads.Almost five years after her disappearance, an age-enhanced photo has been released to show what the British child would look like now.Redwood said he ‘genuinely’ believed she could be alive, adding he thinks she was abducted by a stranger.The team is however following another equally strong line of inquiry that she might now be dead.Last week Spanish police were hunting for the child in Nerja following a tip-off from Portuguese police that a child with a ‘strong physical resemblance’ had been seen there.Meanwhile the Olive Press is investigating a possible sighting by an expat who claims she saw a blonde girl who could have been Maddie on Penocillo Beach between Nerja and Torrox last summer.Rosalie Bray said she was ‘taken aback’ when the young girl, around eight years old, joined a party of Hispanic-looking adults – and later saw a people carrier with a Portuguese number plate parked nearby.“It had quite an impact on us,” she said. “The girl definitely wasn’t Spanish.”Next Thursday, May 3, will mark the fifth anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance from a holiday resort in the Algarve in 2007.Her ninth birthday is May 12.

So a report that she might be alive or dead. Or possibly both.AND, free with every issue, your very own pull out and keepSIGHTINGOnly a year ago, not two years ago, madam, just one, just a year ago, thank you, roll up, roll up get your own sighting, just a year ago, on the Costa del Sol, "foreign looking people, girl definitely not Spanish ( or Moroccan !) and they saw a people carrier ! No one cares whether it belonged to that group or not, the important thing is they saw one. Standard issue predatory Pae*** people carrier.

And "It had quite an impact on us " said the women. So much impact that we did NOTHING. For a year, yes, ladies and gentlemen a whole year.

Apparently Martin Brunt just mentioned it on Sky news, but I didn't see it......

Redwood said he ‘genuinely’ believed she could be alive, adding he thinks she was abducted by a stranger.The team is however following another equally strong line of inquiry that she might now be dead.

where is the weight of evidence suggesting she is alive?! It is balanced as either could be the case..equally !

It is truly flabberghasting. If it wasn't so serious it would be almost funny............

Take your pick

Okey dokey, so far we have.....

Alive or dead in equal measure (helpful)195 leads only 25% of the way into the review (not so helpful, can't they narrow it down a bit?)Crimestoppers number issued again (could be helpful)Appeal to the public for witnesses by police (helpful nutters welcome to phone for a chat)We'll solve it and/or PJ will re-open the case (eh?)Kate pleased with the image because it looks like her (well, there's a surprise)

All in all, can't really see anything useful in this latest media/Twitter flurry, still anyones game at this stage.

Can't help hoping that on the programme they show a clip of one or both of the Mc's saying they will do anything and everything to help the investigation, along with a clip of them demanding a review, and then right at the end of the programme AR stating that the review will be making the whole lot of 'em go back for a reconstruction, because then there will be NO WAY any of them can refuse. At least that one obstacle could then be done and dusted.

Just want to see the blasted programme now, and unless can watch it on You Tube will have to wait days!

Eddie and Keela alerted to items and places concerned with the McCanns - and importantly to no other items or places.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle cat'.

Kate's book 'madeleine', Page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the 'odour of death' three months later from a body that had been removed so swiftly?"

After forensic analysis of the 'Last Photo' there is little doubt now that the pool photo CANNOT POSSIBLY have been taken on the Thursday 3rd May, but most likely on the Sunday 29th April. So, where was Madeleine at lunchtime on Thursday?

John McCann:"This was terrible for them, Kate dressed Amelie in her sister's pyjamas and the baby said: "Maddy's jammies, where is Maddy?"Martin Roberts:"If Madeleine's pyjamas had not, in fact, been abducted then neither had Madeleine McCann."Dr Martin Roberts: A Nightwear Job

Death Toll in McCann Case

Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after a 'Dossier' was handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room the next day. Brenda paid the price.

Colin Sahlke died suddenly in mysterious circumstances with a significant amount of morphine in his system. At the Inquest the coroner said there was no evidence as to how he had come to take morphine, and no needle mark was found.Gerry McCann had met Sahlkebefore he helped with the search but did not show any concern for his death.

Ex-Met DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window' of opportunity' from 3 minutes to 45 minutes, in accordance with their remit, to allow the staged abduction to happen.

The 'SunOnline' journalist, Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: "Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house, or building equipment."
